ZnO nanoparticles are a multi-purposes material with wide range of applications, such as photocatalyst and antibacterial agent. A novel method to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles is biological method which uses plant extracts as the reducing and capping agents. Plant extracts are superior agents for synthesizing nanoparticles because they are free from toxicants and provide essential phytochemical substances as reductor and capping agents. Compared to physical and chemical routes, biological method is an efficient and eco-friendly method because of the relatively mild operating condition. Due to the variety of biomolecules composition and content in the plant extract, nanoparticle synthesis through biological method requires different process conditions from each other. This study intends to identify characteristics of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by the fruit extract of Averrhoa.bilimbi in different precursor concentration and volume ratio of precursor-extract and also to explore its potential application as antibacterial/antibiofilm agents.
